Make won the demo. Tome won my Tuesday.

No tutorials. No config. Just me and a task I didn't want. My call: keep Tome for the work it's built for, and Make for the rest. They aren't rivals, they're different tools, and treating them like the same purchase is how people end up paying for both and using neither.

Where Tome shines: it feels like a narrative doc with AI images. It also works well for pitching an idea, not a report.

Where Make shines: it draws granular visual logic with real branching. It also connects thousands of apps plus AI modules.

The catch: exports are clunky. And Make? debugging a scenario takes practice.

One honest note: the thing I didn't have to learn is where Tome and Make both still want a human in the loop. I stopped expecting either to be fire-and-forget.
